Memoirs

See truth make sense
Live present tense


Work with plain words
Let tale be heard


When you look back
See acts of fact


Time and space move
In active grooves


Years pass so fast
To first and last


No need to hide
In empty pride


Learn to live well
So age can tell


Peace funds pure joy
As work employs


Soon you can see
Fond memories


Start to jot down
Sage, fool and clown


Record your tracks
As memoir stacks


Start poignant lines
Write what feels fine


Laugh and have fun
With story puns


Let form take shape
Sculpt man that apes
